Bill Caption
Relating to the use of the rural water assistance fund.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, the Water Code permits contracting for outreach, financial, and technical assistance by rural political subdivisions in obtaining and using financing from the rural water assistance fund. HB 544 would add contracting for planning to the current list of appropriate activities and would allow rural political subdivisions to use this assistance to obtain funding from any source, rather than exclusively from the rural water assistance fund.
Vote Recommendation Notes
HB 544 neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
